Chapter Text
It was a cold night, maybe due to the unending rain pours this past week. Yuuji spends this uneventful freetime being lost in his thoughts.
Watching the rain drops on his window, his mind just naturally wanders to the thoughts of his crush, Megumi Fushiguro, whose long eyelashes flutters just perfectly at any angle making yuuji stutters on his words, those slender fingers that always made yuuji blush whenever he caught himself staring at it, those slender yet strong hands with perfectly toned muscles that always ready to catch if yuuji ever falls-
“.....i really need to stop, this is bad for my heart”
“No, it’s worse for me who has no choice but to listen to you. Y’know brat, you’re awfully sappy for someone who acts like a fucking gorilla. Humans are truly weak with their emotions” spoke the mouth that popped suddenly under yuuji’s eyes.
“Shut up, sukuna.” said the boy while slapping the mouth, making it disappear from his face.
“Why don’t you just seduce him? What’s the point of waiting around?” said sukuna in the boy’s thoughts.
“It’s not like that- a guy liking another guy isn’t really something that’s common, plus he’ll probably reject me anyways because i don’t even have great qualities for a lover.”
“So basically, you’re a coward ?”
“What? NO- ugh JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP OKAY??? It’s NONE of your business anyways.” Yuuji replied defensively, almost yelling.
Then he suddenly heard a knock on his door. Shocked , he rushed towards the door literally stumbling every step of the way.
“U-um yes? What is it?”
Yuuji opens the door to reveal a concerned looking fushiguro.
“Hey, are you okay? I heard you yelling. Did someone come by or something?”
“Oh- uh i was sort of talking to sukuna, you know him, pretty annoying sometimes, you wanna come in or something?” yuuji offered while smiling brightly.
“Sure, i have something to tell you anyways”
Both of them sit on yuuji’s bed with yuuji’s mind being a bit of a mess due to sukuna’s constant teasing and mocking, and fushiguro not helping the situation by staying silent (probably hoping yuuji would start the conversation first).
“S-so, what do you want to talk to me about?” said yuuji.
“Ah well, panda-san and inumaki-senpai told me to bring you and nobara to lunch in that new cafe in town because they want to treat us out, you joining? Or are you busy tomorrow?”
“What if he knows about your feelings, brat? Will he still be this friendly with you?”
Yuuji feels his face getting hotter by the second and quickly replied to sukuna in his head “sukuna i’m serious, stop-”
“Yuuji? Are you okay? You look like you have a fever and you don’t seem to be listening” said Fushiguro, very concerned. He puts his hands on yuuji’s face so nonchalantly and this simple gesture to feel yuuji’s temperature made yuuji flinch and swat away fushiguro’s hands. Rightfully so, Fushiguro is shocked.
An uncomfortable silence ensues.
“I- i’m-”
“This brat likes you~ that’s why he’s so fucking fidgety~” sukuna said this loudly after suddenly appearing on yuuji’s cheek again. He’s smirking until Yuuji slaps the mouth.
“I- NO- I MEAN I-” yuuji blushes as his brain fails to come up with a response to this embarrassing situation.
“...................you like me?” Yuuji flinched as he heard this question. He doesn’t know what kind of expression is on his crush’s face right now, is it disgust? Betrayal? Devastation? Maybe even Joy? Impossible.
AHHHHHHHHHH I just want to bury myself in a hole far far away from this.
The embarrassment was too much for yuuji to handle.
“.....i-.........i do.” tears welling up in his eyes as he prepares for the harsh rejection.
“Are you serious?” Yuuji could not distinguish fushiguro’s emotions through his words anymore, The tears are starting to fall to the floor. He’s sure that Fushiguro is asking this in disgust and hatred to him. How could he fall for his best friend? His teammate?
It’s okay, yuuji, you can do it, just admit it and at least you can end this properly. You can apologise later. You can build the relationship as a friend again later, when your feelings are resolved. Just do it. There’s no turning back from this.
“Y-yes. i have been in l-love with you for s-some time,i know ,i know, i-it’s weird, i’m sorry i-” yuuji stammered through his words like a fool and was trying really hard to speak through his cries and hiccups.
He expected a slap. Maybe even a punch, maybe a silent treatment. But instead he was wrapped in fushiguro’s tight and warm embrace. He’s shocked. His tears are overflowing on fushiguro’s shirt.
“F-fushigu-”
“I like you too.” fushiguro tightens his embrace around the pink-haired boy.
“What- WHAT?! N-no- fushiguro, i like you in THAT way you know, like i want to KISS you and stuff, is it even the same kind of like? A-and how do you even like me? Do y-you even know what you’re s-saying?” yuuji panicked, he’s speaking through all of the sobbing and sniffing, he’s still crying so much he can’t even think straight.
“YES, I DO, i like you in THAT way too- maybe even MORE than how much you like me, i don’t just ‘like’ you i LOVE you, i can’t imagine a life without you in it, i can’t compute you being dead before, i can’t do anything without knowing that you’re safe, i- i imagine doing a lot of things to you every night, i hated the fact that gojo-sensei knows and spends so much time with you alone and i hated seeing you hurt, i can’t even look at your smile without imagining how it would feel if i were to kiss you on your soft lips, imagining if you’re mine and mine only, if i could wake up to see you in my arms every morning- I LOVE YOU,okay?” although he said this with a serious tone, his embrace feels so warm and desperate, his voice sounds so gentle into yuuji’s ears, yuuji who was crying unstoppably started to calm down although the tears are just flowing more and more because it’s so unbelievable, it’s like a dream, a fairytale, he had never dreamed that his love could be reciprocated.
“I- i can’t believe it, a-are you being h-honest?” yuuji managed to speak through his sobbing.
Fushiguro took yuuji’s chin and brought his mouth to a gentle, sweet and warm first kiss.
It’s passionate, but brief. After the kiss, they just stared into each other’s eyes and after some time they burst out laughing in each other’s embrace, feeling secure and safe with the confession.
“I can’t believe all of this, am i still dreaming?” yuuji muttered whilst still being embraced in fushiguro’s arms.
“You are not, dumbass. I truly do love you.” Fushiguro said as he tightens his embrace on yuuji and pulls yuuji down to the bed, wanting to lay with yuuji in his hold.
Fushiguro pulls yuuji closer to him and breathes softly on the pinkette’s hair. Admiring yuuji’s warmth and very pleasing smell. Yuuji who is now pressed up against fushiguro’s chests felt very safe and secured. He has never felt this type of calmness in his life before, he is utterly enchanted by fushiguro’s embrace.
“Hehe , We’re both really clueless , huh? I can’t believe it took sukuna’s teasing for us to confess” yuuji said with a happy glow radiating from his smile.
“We are huh. So now, i’m officially your boyfriend and you’re officially mine '' Add fushiguro with a smirk.
“w-we’re b-boyfriends” Yuuji buries himself deeper in fushiguro’s chest, being so embarrassed by fushiguro’s words.
“Is it okay if we stay like this longer, Yuuji?” whispers fushiguro into yuuji’s red ears.
His voice so soft and gentle, making yuuji’s body shiver. Yuuji’s bed is small, but that doesn’t seem like it will stop them. It’s perfect as an excuse to stay in each other’s embrace for the whole night.
“Yes, please.” yuuji blushes deeply.
They cuddle tightly with each other through the rainy night until noon the next day only to be found by gojo who was very unsurprised.
“Oh to be young” gojo mutters to himself.
